Updating pubs with content

I had to reject your submission updating The Jack Vance Reader because you overwrote the existing title records for the contents. Please read this help page about how to add new content to a publication. Do not modify the existing content records as you will be changing every occurrence of that title in the database. If the content is different use this method about dropping content records and adding new ones. Thanks. MHHutchins 18:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I also had to reject the submission updating Silverberg's The 13th Immortal for the same reason. It would have changed the title of every publication of the novel to "Introduction", changed the type from NOVEL to ESSAY, and the publication date from 1957 to 2004. I think you feel you have to change the first content entry because you want to place the contents in order. You don't have to. If you enter the page number the system will sort out the contents automatically, regardless of how they're entered in the update submission. Thanks. MHHutchins 18:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Ghosts and Things - did the merges for you

I went ahead and merged the new titles with the existing titles - quicker for me to do so. You may want to take a look and see that everything is OK.--swfritter 22:36, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Continuum 2

Thanks for the update to this printing of the title. I made a few changes in your submission. 1) Changed the publication date back to 0000-00-00. This second printing wasn't dated (the first was June 1975). 2) Moved the catalog number to the notes field. The ISBN/Catalog number field can only contain one or the other. If the ISBN exists it gets priority and the catalog number goes in the notes. Thanks. MHHutchins 20:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Nebula Awards Four

I making several changes to your verified pub NASF1971. I have submitted an unmerge of the title in order to make it a variant title ("Nebula Award Stories Four" vs. "Nebula Award Stories 4"). I'll also be adding a cover image. Thanks--Rtrace 13:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I found more things to do with this one. There was a duplicate record that had the individual "In Memoriam" essays. I've copied those over so that the duplicate could be deleted. Also, I corrected the title to "Nebula Award Stories Four". Thanks again. --Rtrace 11:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Untouched by Human Hands

I added a cover image to your verified pub NTCHDBHMNH1967 Thanks. --Rtrace 03:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Night's Yawning Peal

I accepted your submission updating this pub but had to add the pound sign (#) before the catalog number. This is standard ISFDB practice for non-ISBN publications. For further information see ISBN / Catalog # at this link. Thanks. MHHutchins 20:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Man in the High Castle

[This] SFBC edition shows a catalog # of 618. If the gutter code is correct, then the book can't have a catalog # as the SFBC didn't start using them until September 1968, plus never used less than four digits. Could you please check this #? Thanks. ~Bill, --Bluesman 14:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I rechecked my SFBC copy of Man in the High Castle and, as expected, it has no catalog #. I should of removed the catalog number BEFORE submitting the primary verification. Thank you for the comment. Paul User:Cayer1886 07 Sept 2009

Swords and Deviltry introduction question

In working with my copy of the November 1973 (2nd) printing of Swords and Deviltry, I see the Author's Introduction (Swords and Deviltry) is dated 1970. But in my copy, that introduction is signed "Fritz Leiber, San Francisco, June 4, 1973". So I'm thinking it can't be 1970. Does your verified 4th printing by any chance say the same thing? Thanks. --MartyD 10:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I changed the date to 1973-11-00, the date of the 2nd printing. If your copy suggests something different, let me know. --MartyD 11:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
I have two copies of Swords Against Deviltry. They are the 1st printing ($.75 cover price and has a spine number 441-79170-075) and the 4th printing ($1.50 cover price and spine number of 441-79173-150). The author’s introduction was omitted in the 1st printing. In the 4th printing it is signed exactly as you stated in the 2nd printing: Fritz Leiber, San Francisco, June 4, 1973” Hope this helps you. Cayer1886 12:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)Paul
Yes, perfect. Thank you. --MartyD 16:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I've got the other verified pub of this title and have begun correcting my pub. If yours is by "Stephen Grendon" as I suspect it it, we should probably go ahead and correct the title (or merge it with the proper one. Thanks. ~Ron --Rtrace 00:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

The Stars are ours - added cover artist/notation

Morning! This. [2]. I became involved in finding out who did the cover art, therefore I am going through and making the same art get the same artist and adding notes to that effect. Also, I used and noted that Tuck had your edition listed and therefore I gave it the 1963 date. Thus the art is checked with the original 1955 art which is attributed to Ed Valigursky by Jane Frank (in notes). Hope I have not confused, but it all started while checking another artist who was getting credit for this art wrongly. Thanks, Harry. --Dragoondelight 16:09, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Brunner's More Things in Heaven

I'm holding the submission adding a new pub to this title because I believe it's already in the database. You may have missed it because several of the pubs were listed under the wrong title record (The Astronauts Must Not Land) which I just corrected (thanks for bringing the error to my attention). Look over these two DAW printings and see if either one matches your copy. If so, you can reject the submission from your end. Thanks. Mhhutchins 03:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

The Dargonesti and Pub Series vs. Title Series

Hi. I approved your changes to The Dargonesti and added an INTERIORART content record for Jeff Butler based on your note. I also made a change, removing the Pub Series information ("The Lost Histories" and "Volume 3") you provided. It is very confusing and unfortunately prominent, but Pub Series is for a set of otherwise unrelated books as grouped by a specific publisher. For example, see the Classic Reprint pub series. Title Series is used to group a set of works related by content, independent of any particular publisher. You can't supply a Title Series when you add a new book, you have to do so by editing the title after the publication submission has been approved, so this trap is very easy to fall into. In this case, "The Lost Histories" is a title series that we have captured as Dragonlance: The Lost Histories, and The Dargonesti -- the title -- is already in it. And a side note about numbering for future reference: whenever adding something to any kind of series, the "number" should be strictly the numerical rank (i.e., "3"). Not a big deal by any means. Please look over what I did and make sure it's correct, and thanks for contributing. --MartyD 10:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm updating the existing "Firebird" published books to "Firebird / Penguin" to follow the ISFDB standard of "imprint / publisher". This changes the publisher of your verified publication.
